It should be noted that, while the WHQ is environmentally friendly and the BR does all they can to set a good example in taking care of the earth, when I was working at Warwick we ate lunch in rooms in the residence buildings. Most of these were cold sandwich lunches but a couple had a hot component. We had mostly water or tea to drink.

 

They provided plastic cups for us to drink from. The sandwiches were wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh ans sanitary until we ate them. When we did receive a meal instead of a loose sandwich, it was in a styro box.

 

Now, the breakfast served in the dining room was served on reusable dishes and we used stainless flatware. However, the suppers were served on disposable.

Imagine if they would make this the regular way to serve food to bethelites...

Not sure what you mean here .... a bit ambiguous ..... which way are you referring to?

The way described in the post. What I mean is it’s not a viable way to serve regular meals in the long run. Hence china is used to serve regular meals at Bethel and RTOs.

OK, I get your meaning now.

 

It kinda' sounded to me that you were saying that they should use china for breakfast and disposable the rest of the time - and that didn't seem like what I thought you would mean.

 

Glad we got that cleared up

Coincidentally this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/4f6b6e5d-af94-46c4-9a11-f50aae22136e popped up in my facebook newsfeed today. The reporter tried to give up plastics for 2 weeks and found it impossible.
